Over just under 3 weeks (June 21st to July 11th) I travelled from Chattanooga, TN to Metropolis IL, Branson MO, Dodge City KS, Colorado Springs CO, Winter Park CO, back to Colorado Springs (my buddy had a short out-patient surgery to reattach his bicep), on to Roswell NM, Blanchard OK, Camden AR, and finally back to Chattanooga. I spent several days at my friends houses in Colorado, and 2 nights in Metropolis, Branson, Dodge City, and Blanchard so I had a day to play tourist and spend some time with my family in Branson and Blanchard. I probably averaged about 350 miles per day on my riding days, but did pull close to 500 twice. While my bike is definitely not a touring machine (more like a cafe racer), by standing on the pegs and making frequent stops, along with an unrecommended daily dosage of Ibuprofen, I made it and had a blast doing so; even if my butt complained.
The title photo was taken by my Nephew in Oklahoma (and yes, it has inspired a gym membership and diet).

I have no clue how you look exactly like GRRM and nothing like GRRM at the same time. I have an urge to tell you to get back to writing.
He looks like a happier, alternate history GRRM who abandoned writing to travel the world.
Hopefully, I look like a much younger version… and I’ll finish Winds of Winter soon TM 🤣
